Samsung will sell 10 million Galaxy S phones this year
IT LOOKS LIKE Samsung is on track to shift more than ten million of its Android based Galaxy S smartphones this year.
When Samsung released the product earlier this year it stunned analysts by saying it expected to sell 10 million of them. After all it was competing with the Apple Iphone, so how could it possibly compete with a phone that needs a rubber band to work and cuts out when you place it to your ear?
It turns out the analysts were wrong. So far Samsung has sold 9.3 million and the target should be met when the Christmas figures are in.
One of the more surprising statistics that Samsung mentioned was that it has sold 2 million Galaxy S phones in Korea since releasing it in June. Apple regarded Korea as one of its success stories, having sold sold 1.8 million Iphone 4s in that country.
Besides running the Android OS, the Galaxy S uses a different design model than Jobs' Mob. Apple creates a device and tells the world this is what it will buy. Samsung has tweaked the Galaxy S so that it is different for each market.
Unlike the Iphone, Samsung launched the Galaxy S simultaneously on all major carriers. Jobs' Mob insisted that everyone sign up with the unpopular AT&T in the US.
The Galaxy S sales forecast means that just one Android smartphone out of many will sell more than two-thirds of the number of Iphone 4s sold this year.
Samsung is doing very well out of its Android products. Its Galaxy Tab, it's first Android-powered tablet, has sold 100,000 units in Korea and a million worldwide. Although it has not been in the shops that long, it is already starting to eat into Apple's established Ipad market. µ

Seriously they sold that many suckers a bag of crap! This phone couldnt find its way out of a bag with directions written in korean! The phone has many many problems that the carriers and samsung refuse to address. So lets make 2011 the year of the galaxy s return history making event! Starting with me get in line and return this dog! My sgs reboots all by itself for no reason! Gps sucks so bad! lagg's out then locks up then reboots! Time for a class action lawsuit to wake these guys up! This was my last samsung after 3 prior! Never again!
You are numerically challenged. 15 million iPhones were sold in the last quarter reported. That's July through September. Galaxy S sold 10 million In a year. That's a ratio of 1 Galaxy to 6 iPhones, even neglecting that iPhone sales this quarter will be higher.
Samsung Galaxy S just get updated to froyo 2.2.1 and now we talking! Impressive performance
I, for one, is impressed that a totally new phone without tons of free publicity by fan media has managed to sell 75% of what the King of the Hill has managed - after a three year head start...
Add all other Android Phone from LG, SE and many others and realize the Iphone reign is over. Soon, WP7 will also take a share from Iphone as contracts come to an end.
Hey king dong, recheck your numbers...iphone4 has sold 14 MILLION since it's launch in June. You can bet no one android phone will come close to beating those numbers. Don't think steve has anything to choke on..ha ha
Numbers tell the story. Just ONE Android phone vendor has outsold the iPhone. Add the others in and the picture doesn't look as rosey as the fanboys might think. Choke on it Apple. Your fan boys will always buy your products. The rest of us want something else (especially in Korea). Try not to choke to hard on it. You might throw up. LOL!!!
